Multi-omics analysis of microorganisms on the human body
It is known that there are about 40 trillion microorganisms of about 1,000 species living symbiotically in the human body. These flora vary greatly depending on the individual and the environment, and are known to have various effects on the human body through crosstalk with the host. In this project, we focus on intestinal bacteria and skin indigenous bacteria among the indigenous bacteria in the human body, and analyze the bacterial flora by meta-16S rRNA gene sequencing and metabolome analysis using CE-TOFMS to clarify the interrelationship among bacterial flora, metabolites, and host. In this summer project, we will conduct bacterial flora analysis and metabolome analysis, and discuss among the members to develop our individual research. During staying at TTCK, members can develop the individual research respectively outside of class hours, too.
